Hey! I started writing this story when I was bored during my government class the other day. I developed it further, and decided to post it and see what people thought! I don't own YGO, obviously. Please read it and review! Thanks!
Seto stepped out of the limo, blinking into the afternoon sunlight. He grabbed his suitcases, waving off the driver who was also reaching for his luggage. The driver took off, and Seto sighed as we watched the limo disappear. He was wondering how he had gotten himself into such a mess when from behind him he heard someone say "Hello." Startled, Seto whirled around. In front of him stood a small, blonde girl with large azure eyes.
"Seto Kaiba?" she asked. Seto gave her a quick nod, and the girl extended her hand. "I'm Miyabi Takahashi. I'm the head counselor here at Camp Rainbow." Seto ignored her hand.
"Good for you," he retorted coldly. Miyabi dropped her hand, smirking she said,
"Everyone told me that you were extremely rude."
"Good to know my reputation precedes me," Seto said sarcastically.
" I just hope you don't treat the kids as poorly as you treat me," Miyabi told Seto half jokingly.
"It's my business how I treat people," Seto spat. Miyabi's face suddenly twisted with anger, and her nice girl routine vanished.
"Look I don't care how you normally treat people, but here I am the boss, not you. When I tell you to do something you better listen. If I say be nice to the kids, then be nice. If I tell you to clean up after some kids puke, or scrub the cafeteria floor after someone starts a food fight then you better do it. No arguments!" Seto opened his mouth to yell back, but decided better of it. If he was going to spend a whole summer here with Miyabi as his boss it was best not to piss her off on his first day. As much as it killed him to not be in charge, he knew that here at Camp Rainbow, he wasn't the boss. However he wasn't willing to submit totally so "Whatever," was all he said in reply. Without another word Miyabi set off towards the camp, motioning for Seto to follow her.
"I'm busy getting everything thing ready for the kids arrival so I'm going to have Shizuka show you around," Miyabi informed Seto. The two approached one of the many cabins, and Miyabi knocked on the door. A petite brunette who Seto immediately recognized as Joey Wheeler's younger sister opened the door. "Oh, hey Miyabi. What's up?" she asked. Then her eyes fell upon Seto, and her face was filled with confusion. "Kaiba?" Shizuka said questioningly. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm a counselor here," Seto replied his face flushing. "And don't you dare tell that loser brother of yours or you'll pay!" he added.
"I won't," she promised.
"Okay, I am assuming you two know each other," Miyabi said.
"You could say that," Seto replied.
"Great, then no introductions needed. Shizuka, I'd greatly appreciate it if you showed Kaiba around."
"No problem," Shizuka answered, flashing a beautiful smile. Miyabi took off, leaving Seto and Shizuka alone. There was a moment of awkward silence before Shizuka said,
"Well, I guess I can show you your cabin first so you can put all your bags away before I give you a tour of the place."
"Fine," was all Seto said. Seto's cabin wasn't far from Shizuka's, and it only took them a few minutes to get there. When they entered Seto let out a small groan. He couldn't believe that he had to spend a whole summer in this pit. He knew one thing for sure, it would be the longest summer of his life. The place seemed very small, mainly because five sets of bunk beds took up most of the space. There was an ugly rug that looked like it may have been dark green at one point in time. Now, however, it was so faded it was hard to tell. Aside from the rug, and a few tacky looking paintings there wasn't much in the way of décor. Seto raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"You have got to be kidding me," he said. Shizuka let out a small laugh.
"This is where the kids stay," she informed him. "Your room is over here." She opened a small door that had gone unnoticed by Seto, and motioned for him to come inside. The room was a little bigger than the one they had just left, but not by much. There was a tiny, uncomfortable looking bed that was sagging with age near the middle. A small window offered a nice view of the lake, and was the only good thing about the room in Seto's opinion. A microscopic closet, and a dresser occupied the rest of the space.
"You also have your own bathroom," Shizuka told Seto as she motioned towards another door.
"Wow really, my own bathroom. That is terrific," Seto said, his voice oozing with sarcasm.
"You can take a look at the bathroom if you want."
"If this room is any indicator as to how small and dirty the bathroom is then I think I'll pass," Seto said coldly. Shizuka frowned slightly.
"You don't like it?" she asked in a hurt tone. Like he had somehow offended her personally.
"Let's put it this way," Seto said. "My closet at home isn't even this small.
"Sorry, we tried to put you in the biggest, nicest cabin." Seto opened his mouth to say that if this was the nicest cabin then was he was frightened to see the others, but then he looked into Shizuka's eyes. He could tell by that one look that she was trying hard to please him, despite the fact that he had never been anything short of awful towards her and her dumb mutt of a brother.
"Thank you. I appreciate the effort," Seto said. Her frown evaporated and was replaced by a wonderful smile.
"You're welcome," she replied pleasantly. Seto almost began to smile, but quickly stopped himself. He couldn't believe this girl had almost made him grin. It was as though her smile was contagious. Seto shook off all of the emotions that were flooding him and said, "Well are we going to stand here all day or are you going to show me around?" Shizuka's face flushed slightly.
"Oh…yeah…" she stammered. "Let's go." Seto left his luggage behind, and followed Shizuka out of the cabin.
"I was thinking we could go to the beach first," Shizuka said. Seto didn't reply, but gave a curt nod. The two walked in silence most of the way, which was perfectly fine with him. He could tell that Shizuka didn't like it though. He could see her racking her mind, searching for something to talk with him about. Finally she asked, "I was just wondering how you of all people came to be a counselor here?"
"What I don't look like the nurturing, caring, kid loving type?" Seto questioned. Shizuka let out a small giggle.
"Was that supposed to be a joke?" she asked. Seto shrugged.
"Call it that if you want."
"If someone would have told me that this summer I'd be cracking jokes with Kaiba I never would have believed them." Again Seto shrugged, but a quick smile darted over his face.
"Really though," Shizuka said. "Why are you here?"
"Basically because I can't resist my brother's puppy dog eyes," he answered.
"Well, why did he want you here?"
"He comes here every summer, loves it. Now that I've actually seen this place I don't really understand why, but anyway, they didn't have enough counselors. I guess they weren't going to run the camp if the couldn't find anyone. Mokuba found this out and became very distraught by the news. He begged me to be a counselor here, gave me the puppy dog eyes, and here I am."
"So, you are the heroic guy who decided to be a counselor at the last minute and saved the camp. Miyabi was telling me that story. She didn't mention your name though." The two walked in silence again for a while, but this time it was Seto who spoke first.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
"I have been working here for the last two years, and I love it. I love the place, the other counselors, and the kids."
"Isn't that precious," Seto snickered.
"Do you have a rude remark for everything anybody say?" Shizuka asked.
"Only when people say dumb things," Seto shot back. Shizuka sighed, if Kaiba was going to keep acting like this, it was going to be a long summer.
